Today I updated much of how this blog will look and function. As you will notice, we have a menu bar along the top with all the different photography topics that we will discuss.
One of the main new features of this blog will be video and lighting diagrams of our commercial shoots. Tim and I will be posting these toward the end of next week. We have about 10 new videos and lighting diagrams on the way….fashion, glamour, product, and architecture.
I just watched 3 clips on Hulu.com and wanted to share them with you, kinda funny if you ask me. Thank goodness Tim and I are much more relaxed when we shoot, lol.
Markus Klinko, Indrani, and the entire crew come together to make this photoshoot happen. The videos begin with a short infomercial, just bear with it.
This is the new website for Zeroplusplus.com. I am currently finishing a few commercial projects and will update this website next week.
Unfortunately “this week” has turned into next week. However the NEW people lighting video is progressing nicely and should be available by July 20th, latest. We have added numerous refinements and responded to a few suggestions by previous customers.
I am a big fan of simplicity, especially one light setups. In the case of the following images I just used the Sun. For the three images in the cabin I used a single Profoto Umbrella and a Photogenic PLR1250DRC mono-head.
This is about as simple as it gets. No reflectors or retouching in Photoshop for lighting. Just basic color and exposure adjustments in Adobe Camera Raw.
The images Melissa and I created are the last update for her modeling agency book. Honestly, this was one of my favorite shoots because I didn’t have to lug gear around or need any assistants to hold stuff. The agency loved the images because the lighting is so natural and the backgrounds provided all the drama.
Breaking rules is fun. Shoot into the Sun and shoot naked on a public beach!
Zeroplusplus took a break for a few months, why you ask. To be perfectly honest, we wanted really wicked new content. We tested new software and shot new lighting setups, and tested filters that do not suck.
Meanwhile, I thought that I would entertain you with 2 very humorous videos that were sent to me recently. I don’t have to provide any further introduction, other than photographers and artists pointing fun at cheap and unrealistic clients. We have all had those at some point in our careers.
